As the year comes to an end,
we don’t always need new resolutions.
Sometimes, what we truly need is remembrance.
To pause.
To release what no longer serves us.
To give thanks for everything that has already arrived.
In Bali, the Melukat water purification ritual reminds us that balance is not about perfection,
but about clearing the weight we carry
and returning to what truly matters:
body, mind, and spirit in harmony.
Gratitude doesn’t cancel ambition.
It grounds it.
It allows us to move forward without denying where we are.
Even in difficult seasons, there is always something to honor.
Breath. Presence. Life itself.
Closing a year is not about leaving it behind,
but about acknowledging the gifts it brought —
even the smallest ones.
This is how we begin again.
Thank you to my friend for the 📷, a woman who mindfully practices gratitude and manifestation on her daily life.
